A Brief History of Weaving

Weaving is a method of fabric production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. There is evidence that weaving began as early as the Paleolithic era, however it is predominantly believed to have been widespread by Biblical times. In the Islamic culture, both horizontal and vertical looms could be found all over Asia, Africa and Europe (around 700 AD) and by medieval times weaving was the most important of the craft trades. The industrial revolution saw the invention of the power loom (before everything had been woven by hand). The Jacquard loom in particular allowed complicated patterns to be woven using punch cards to determine which threads of colored yarn should appear on the upper side of the cloth.
